At the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony.

I wore a white dress that looked very much like a wedding dress.

The host praised my complexion and fair skin, but I couldn't escape the ink thrown at me by the crowd.

I couldn't dodge it in time, and the ink landed on my skirt.

Although I was no longer immaculate, I still had a different kind of grace.

The host shielded me and led me away from the open-air red carpet into the venue.

The music inside the venue was drowned out by the loud cheers outside.

They were shouting.

"Shen Qingru, go die."

The voice grew louder, and the music inside the venue also grew louder, until the music drowned out the outside.

Xiao Qiu came to my side and asked tentatively how I was doing.

I gave her a reassuring look, and only then did Xiao Qiu leave her seat worriedly.

Before the awards ceremony started, the prelude was the song that Gu Yi had once won the Best Male Singer award with.

I was immersed in it when suddenly it changed to something else.

The host hurriedly shifted his gaze and announced the Best Actress of the year.

The spotlight also fell on me.

"May I invite Miss Shen Qingru, who won the Best Actress for 'Us Under the Sun', to come on stage and receive the award."

The spotlight paved the way for me.

Following the light, I stood on the stage.

Holding a weighty microphone, I said the first sentence.

"Mr. Gu, look, your Mrs. Gu is standing taller than you."

I hadn't lost my nerve yet.

The crowd below shed tears.

"There are too many people I want to thank, my assistant Xiao Qiu, makeup artist Jia Jia, the director of our show, the flower shop at the entrance of the community where the security guard is, and my friends since childhood, lawyer Chen Lu, Ling Yaer, the journalist team."

"These are the people I want to thank."

"I know, you were entrusted by someone, so you gave me the same love that Gu Yi once gave me."

"You protect me, you don't let me hear the insults from the outside world, you feel sorry for me, you sleep more restlessly than I do, I know all of this."

"My husband and I have caused a lot of trouble for everyone, and I'm really sorry. I hope that in the future, everything goes smoothly for everyone."

"When my husband passed away, I didn't let everyone come to see him, and I'm also very sorry. Next month, at the beginning of the month, I invite everyone to come and bid him farewell."

"Acquiring this award today is the highest honor of my life."

"But the thing I am most proud of is not my acting skill, but my husband, Gu Yi."

"Thank you all."
